episode description

Episode 1 shows how building with concrete could become more climate-friendly in the future, for example with textile reinforcement instead of steel. An important model for the concrete of the future could lie in the past: in Roman concrete. But there is another way: clay has a favourable indoor climate, but above all its production is much more environmentally friendly than building with concrete. In Italy, clay buildings are already being built using 3D printers.
